Interesting that it happens in or out of S-mode. As for the braking, you'll get squeal if you gently apply the brakes as if you were hitting the end of life of your brake pads.
I assume, not having a AT Z, that it's just trying to do what many MT drivers do and force the car into 1st before coming to a complete stop. Do you know what mph it generally does this at?
Edit: I wouldn't worry too much about the shift to your PTO gear at low speeds. It's no worse than upshifting and getting on it. You're just putting the force of the vehicle changing lateral direction onto your transmission.
